The County's Funds-Where Are They
to be Deposited p-When the new County Com
missioners took charge on Tuesday, Col. John g.
Cockey president, Mr.. John Crouther. Jr, cashier,
Bank, appeared before the Board to present the
claims Of their bank as place Of deposit for the
county funds. Mr.. Crowther reviewed the history
of the bank, showed that it was in perfectly safe
financial condition and that being county insti-
tuition, governed entirely by county men, it was
entitled to this consideration at the hands of the
Board. Remarks similar in tone were also made
by Col Walter S. franklin and Mr.. N. Charles
Burke, members of the Board of Directors.
Mr. William j. Dickey, president of the Manu-
facturers' National Bank of Baltimore which now
has the county's deposits, accompanied by other
officers of his bank, also present to represent
their institution. They said that although their
bank not located in the county, it had, never
theless, "party claim" eleven out of the twelve
directors being Democrats. Their bank, he stated,
had paid in capital stock of $500, 000 more than
two-thirds of which was held by county men,
The stockholders he said, paid taxes in the county
on nearly 100000 worth of property, claiming
also that their bank was much county insti-
tuition as the Towson National Bank.
Mr. Dickey said his interests were altogether
with the county and that his object was to increase
its population and taxable basis. He urged the
Board to decide the question on justice, reason
and Interest to the county.
After both sides had been fully heard the Board
decided to defer the matter for future considera-
ton.

Steelton, Baltimore County--Large
Furnaces in Course Of Erection.-The prop
ery at Sparrows Point, 18th district of Baltimore
county, which was purchased by the Pennsylvania
Steel Company upon which to erect immense steel
works, embraces about 1000 acres of land, mostly
on the water 'front.' The work of improving this
property commenced some time ago and will be
extended from time to time as the works are en-
larged and as increased facilities are required
At present between three and four hundred men
are employed erecting the works, constructing
dwellings, &c. The place will be laid out in wide
streets running at right angles. Enough progress
on the furnaces and auxiliaries has been made to
give an idea what the works will be like. There
will be two immense furnaces, the foundations
for which have just been completed. The founda-
tons are nearly circular in shape, fifty feet in
diameter, and built of red sandstone. Each fur
mace will be seventy five feet in height Between
the two furnaces, which will be about hundred
feet apart, will be smoke-stack of riveted iron,
about $40 feet high. To the right of the furnaces
will be eight large ovens. Two of these ovens
are nearly completed.
The capacity of the furnaces will be $50 tons
day. which will require 500 tons of ore, the waste
being about one-half. A stock house, 155 feet by
rs feet, capacity 100000 tons, which is being
erected near the furnaces, will be splendid piece
of work. All the bricks used, exclusive of fire.
bricks, are made on the place from clay of good
quality. Some distance from the works are the
dwellings, of those employed by the company. A
half a dozen neat cottages of different sizes and
Styles for the managers and superintendent are
reaching completion, and thirty-two tenement
houses, some of them occupied, have been
erected. A school house is being built; alse the
frame work for boarding house. Across q
little creek, and reached by bridge is place
known as Bucktown, where the colored men en-
ployed at Steelton reside. A large store has been
started.
The survey for railroad from Steelton to Can
ton, where it will connect with the N. G. R. R.
and the B. & O. R. R., has been made. and the
road, which will be constructed along the coast,
will soon be begun.
